本申请引用2015年10月5日向美国专利局递交的临时专利申请62,237,548。This application cites provisional patent application 62,237,548 filed with the U.S. Patent Office on October 5, 2015.
技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及一种远程服饰试穿、远程服饰购物、服饰展示,更一般涉及到远程零售购物、远程替身机器人访问和参与。The invention relates to a remote clothing try-on, a remote clothing shopping, a clothing display, and more generally relates to remote retail shopping, remote avatar robot access and participation.
背景技术Background technique
在现代经济中,随着商品的生产逐年增长,消费也需要同步增长。零售购物是将商品从生产转移到消费的关键环节。In the modern economy, as the production of commodities grows year by year, consumption also needs to grow at the same time. Retail shopping is a key part of moving goods from production to consumption.
传统上,零售购物主要是通过访问实体商店进行的。通常情况下,一个服饰购物者(在后续说明中,假定以一个人类的女性为例),去一个实体服饰店。她通过她自己的视觉浏览店中的服饰商品,根据她个人的购物需求和爱好,查看所有她关心的细节,搜索她感兴趣的服饰。一般来说,当她为自己购物时,她去试衣间试穿她感兴趣的服饰,直接在试衣镜中观看试穿效果,并确定:a)试穿的服饰的款式是否令她满意,b)试穿服饰的尺码是否适合她。这种实体店称为真人购物店,这种试衣方法称为真人试衣,这种试衣间称为真人试衣间。前发明[1]公开了一种增强基于试衣镜的真人试衣间的装置。真人试衣既真实又准确,但不总是可能的。例如,当她不是为她自己,而是为家庭成员或他人购买,而其又不在现场时,即购物的目标人体不在现场时,就不能进行真人试衣。Traditionally, retail shopping has been done primarily by visiting physical stores. Usually, a clothing shopper (in the following description, assuming a human female as an example) goes to a physical clothing store. She browses the clothing items in the store through her own vision, according to her personal shopping needs and hobbies, to view all the details she cares about and search for the clothing she is interested in. Generally speaking, when she is shopping for herself, she goes to the fitting room to try on the clothing she is interested in, and looks at the fitting effect directly in the fitting mirror, and determines: a) whether the style of the clothing that is tried on is satisfactory to her. , b) Whether the size of the dress is suitable for her. This kind of physical store is called a real-life shopping store. This fitting method is called real-life fitting. This fitting room is called a real-life fitting room. The former invention [1] discloses an apparatus for enhancing a real-life fitting room based on a fitting mirror. Real-life dressing is both true and accurate, but not always possible. For example, when she is not buying for herself, but for a family member or someone else, and when she is not at the scene, that is, the target person of the shopping is not on the scene, the real person fitting can not be performed.
如今,随着互联网电子商务的蓬勃发展,越来越多的购物者在网上商店购物。网上电子商务购物提供当今购物者需要的购物便利。图片和录像视频都广泛用于在线电子商务网站。前发明[2]公开了一种***,在因特网上用视频广播现场销售活动,购物者通过短信和电 话与销售人员交互。然而,该发明中的网上购物者不能自主控制现场视频(包括移动现场视频的视野、视角、观看距离等),没有她个人的远程临场视觉,不能根据她的个人购物需求和爱好,浏览她感兴趣的商品,查看细节,更不能试穿,查看试穿效果。Today, with the booming Internet e-commerce, more and more shoppers are shopping in online stores. Online e-commerce shopping offers the convenience of shopping that today's shoppers need. Both pictures and video footage are widely used in online e-commerce sites. The former invention [2] discloses a system for selling live events on the Internet by video broadcasting, and the shopper uses SMS and electricity. Words interact with sales people. However, the online shopper in the invention cannot control the live video (including the field of view, perspective, viewing distance, etc. of the mobile live video) without her personal remote presence vision, and cannot browse her sense according to her personal shopping needs and hobbies. Interested goods, view details, not to try on, see the try-on effect.
由于服饰零售购物中试衣的重要性,前发明[3][4]等公开了多种虚拟试衣间,并被网上服装零售商尝试。通常,虚拟试衣间需要为前来的每个购物者和销售的每件服饰建立计算机试穿模型,然后通过计算机仿真,为某一特定购物者产生其试穿某一特定服饰的试衣效果。由于服饰款式在弹性、质地、色彩、图案、装饰、厚度、透明度、柔软度、重量等方面差异很大,建立一个具有足够精度的服饰试穿模型,通过计算机仿真,产生真实可信的试穿效果,仍然是一个巨大的技术挑战。此外,虚拟试衣间在商业上还存在可行性问题。网上零售商需要为每一件销售的服饰商品建立其计算机试穿模型,这可导致很高、甚至高到不可接受的销售成本。Due to the importance of fitting clothes in apparel retail shopping, the former invention [3] [4] and the like disclosed a variety of virtual fitting rooms and was tried by online clothing retailers. Usually, the virtual fitting room needs to establish a computer try-on model for each shopper and every item that is sold, and then use computer simulation to produce a fitting effect for a particular shopper to try on a particular piece of clothing. . Because the styles of clothing vary greatly in elasticity, texture, color, pattern, decoration, thickness, transparency, softness, weight, etc., a garment fitting model with sufficient precision is established, and computer simulation is used to produce a realistic and reliable try-on. The effect is still a huge technical challenge. In addition, the virtual fitting room is commercially viable. Online retailers need to build their computer try-on models for each item of apparel that is sold, which can result in high, even unacceptable, cost of sales.
本发明的目标就是要在不对服饰商品建立计算机试穿模型的条件下,解决服饰零售中的远程试穿和远程购物问题。The object of the present invention is to solve the problem of remote try-on and remote shopping in apparel retail without setting up a computer try-on model for apparel products.

在本发明的优选实施例中,无线基站1300和1400安装在商店1000室的天花板上。每个远程视觉装置与至少一个无线基站无线相连。远程视觉装置1100和1200通过无线连接1101和1201,分别与无线基站1300和1400相连。在一个实施例中,无线连接1101和1201采用IEEE 802.11无线局域网(WLAN)连接。在另一个实施例中,无线连接1101和1201采用其他非IEEE 802.11的无线通信连接,例如采用特定专用的无线通信来连接,传输远程视觉的视频和数据。在另一个实施例中,无线连接1101和1201采用IEEE802.11无线局域网传输非视频数据,采用特定专用无线连接传输远程视觉的视频。In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wireless base stations 1300 and 1400 are mounted on the ceiling of the store 1000 room. Each remote vision device is wirelessly coupled to at least one wireless base station. Remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 are coupled to wireless base stations 1300 and 1400 via wireless connections 1101 and 1201, respectively. In one embodiment, wireless connections 1101 and 1201 employ an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) connection. In another embodiment, wireless connections 1101 and 1201 employ other non-IEEE 802.11 wireless communication connections, such as with dedicated dedicated wireless communication, to transmit remotely-visual video and data. In another embodiment, wireless connections 1101 and 1201 transmit non-video data using an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network to transmit remotely-viewed video using a particular dedicated wireless connection.
在功能上,无线基站1300和1400负责从无线连接到有线连接的物理信号转换,反之亦然,因此能双向中继传输上行和下行的数据流。实际上,无线基站1300和1400在商店1000内提供无线覆盖,建立和维持无线视频链接,特别当远程视觉装置1100和1200在商店1000内移动时,使无线视频链接随之无缝不间断地漫游。Functionally, the radio base stations 1300 and 1400 are responsible for physical signal conversion from a wireless connection to a wired connection, and vice versa, thereby enabling two-way relay transmission of upstream and downstream data streams. In effect, the wireless base stations 1300 and 1400 provide wireless coverage within the store 1000, establishing and maintaining wireless video links, particularly allowing the wireless video links to seamlessly and uninterruptedly as the remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 move within the store 1000. .
在商店1000内或本地附近,本发明的***进一步包括一个或多个视觉链接服务器,标记为1500。无线基站1300和1400分别通过本地布线1301和1401,连接到视觉链接服务器1500,然后再通过互联网接入连接1501,视觉链接服务器1500连接到互联网1700。Within or near the store 1000, the system of the present invention further includes one or more visual link servers, labeled 1500. The wireless base stations 1300 and 1400 are connected to the visual link server 1500 through local wirings 1301 and 1401, respectively, and then connected to the Internet 1700 via the Internet access connection 1501.
视觉链接服务器1500的基本功能是将来至于远程视觉装置1100和1200的现场视觉的视频通过互联网1700实时传输到购物者设备1800和1900。详细地说,它从无线基站1300和1400收集本地上行链路数据流,并将其转发到互联网1700上,同时转发来自互联网1700前往预定的无线基站的下行数据流。一个实用的视觉链接服务器1500有更多的功能。在本发明的一个实施例中,来自远程视觉装置1100和1200的上行链路的视觉视频是无压缩的或轻度压缩的。视觉链接服务器1500需要转换压缩(解压缩和再压缩)上行的视觉视频,成为适合互联网实时传输的重度压缩视频。在另一个实施例中,来自远程视觉装置1100和1200的上行链路的视觉视频不是由IP(互联网协议)传送的。视觉链接服务器1500需要将上行链路的视频转换由IP(互联网协议)传送。在再另一个实施例中,视觉 链接服务器1500具有机器视觉子***,能分析上行的视觉视频,识别其中的现场物体,并提供特定物体的附加信息。例如,当购物者通过远程视觉,浏览商店1000内的服饰1070时,该机器视觉子***识别标识装置1050上显示的标识信息,在购物者设备上同时自动提供服饰1070的电子商务网页的信息。在另一个实施例中,视觉链路服务器1500可对上行链路中的视觉视频录像,并可回放录像视频。在另一个实施例中,视觉链接服务器1500为服饰产生虚拟的附加试穿效果(见下文详述),并合成到购物者的远程视觉之中,增强试衣效果。The basic function of the visual link server 1500 is that future live video of the remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 is transmitted to the shopper devices 1800 and 1900 in real time via the Internet 1700. In detail, it collects local uplink data streams from wireless base stations 1300 and 1400 and forwards them to the Internet 1700, while forwarding downstream data streams from the Internet 1700 to predetermined wireless base stations. A practical visual link server 1500 has more features. In one embodiment of the invention, the visual video of the uplink from remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 is uncompressed or lightly compressed. The visual link server 1500 needs to convert (decompress and recompress) the uplink visual video into a heavily compressed video suitable for real-time transmission of the Internet. In another embodiment, the visual video of the uplink from remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 is not transmitted by IP (Internet Protocol). The visual link server 1500 needs to transfer the video conversion of the uplink by IP (Internet Protocol). In yet another embodiment, the vision The link server 1500 has a machine vision subsystem that analyzes the upstream visual video, identifies the live objects therein, and provides additional information for the particular object. For example, when a shopper browses apparel 1070 within store 1000 via remote vision, the machine vision subsystem identifies the identification information displayed on identification device 1050, and automatically provides information for the e-commerce web page of apparel 1070 on the shopper device. In another embodiment, the visual link server 1500 can record visual video in the uplink and can play back the recorded video. In another embodiment, the visual link server 1500 creates a virtual additional try-on effect for the apparel (see below) and synthesizes it into the shopper's remote vision to enhance the fitting effect.
在商店1000的远程端,购物者设备1800和1900通过其互联网接入连接1801和1901,连接到互联网1700上。购物者设备可以是购物者的智能手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、台式电脑等。At the remote end of the store 1000, shopper devices 1800 and 1900 are connected to the Internet 1700 via their Internet access connections 1801 and 1901. The shopper device can be a shopper's smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and the like.
在图1所示的本发明的实施例中,通过上述无线和有线连接,对每个购物者设备可以建立三个端到端的逻辑链接。例如,在购物者设备1800与远程视觉装置1100之间建立一个远程视觉链接,与远程试衣装置1010之间建成一个远程试衣链接,与展示基座1030之间建立一个展示基座链接。这三个链接不总是需要同时存在的。在下述情形,则需要同时存在:在购物者设备1800前的顾客分配到远程视觉装置1100,她正在控制远程试衣装置1010和展示基座1030,用远程试衣装置1010远程试穿服饰1070,用展示基座1030转动服饰1070。这种情形在下面的说明中用作本***的一个使用例。In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 1, three end-to-end logical links can be established for each shopper device via the wireless and wired connections described above. For example, a remote visual link is established between the shopper device 1800 and the remote vision device 1100, a remote fitting link is established with the remote fitting device 1010, and a display dock link is established with the display base 1030. These three links don't always need to exist at the same time. In the following situations, there is a need to coexist: the customer before the shopper device 1800 is assigned to the remote vision device 1100, she is controlling the remote fitting device 1010 and the display base 1030, and remotely fitting the apparel 1070 with the remote fitting device 1010, The garment 1070 is rotated by the display base 1030. This situation is used as an example of use of the system in the following description.
可以清楚地看到,图1所示的本发明的实施例反映了本发明的一个特征,购物者可以远程连接到并远程控制商店1000内的远程视觉装置、远程试衣装置和展示基座。It will be clearly seen that the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 1 reflects one feature of the present invention in that a shopper can remotely connect to and remotely control remote vision devices, remote fitting devices, and display docks within store 1000.
图1也示出了本发明的移动式远程视觉装置的一个实施例。图1中,移动式远程视觉装置1100包括:摄像子***1120;调制解调器子***1110;移动子***1140。子***都一起安装在机械框架或外壳1130之上或之内。在本发明的一个实施例中,移动子***1140采用轮式移动结构,使远程视觉装置1100在商店1000内的地面上自由移动。移动功能包括但不限于前向或后向移动,加速或停止,左转或右转。在本发明的另一个实施例中,移动 子***1140采用轨道移动结构,使远程视觉装置1100在商店1000内的轨道上移动。在本发明的另一个实施例中,移动子***能够沿安装框架1130垂直地升高或降低摄像子***1120。Figure 1 also shows an embodiment of the mobile remote vision device of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a mobile remote vision device 1100 includes an imaging subsystem 1120, a modem subsystem 1110, and a mobility subsystem 1140. The subsystems are all mounted together on or in the mechanical frame or housing 1130.

Camera subsystem 1120 includes one to multiple cameras. In one embodiment of the present invention, the camera subsystem includes a camera that can be panned, tilted, zoomable, or all three (referred to as a panning camera, a tiltable camera, a zoom camera, a pan-tilt-zoom camera) ), allowing remote shoppers to browse more products and more details with fewer remote vision devices. In another embodiment of the invention, camera system 1120 includes a camera mounted at the end of a retractable duct. This allows remote shoppers to view the details of apparel items from more perspectives. In another embodiment of the invention, camera subsystem 1120 employs a stereo camera. This allows remote shoppers to obtain 3D remote vision within the store 1000.
调制解调器子***1110与远程视觉装置的其它子***通过有线或无线方式通信,并以无线方式与一个或多个无线基站通信。在远程视觉链路的下行链路中,调制解调器子***1110接收由购物者产生的、来自无线基站1300的控制信号,输出摄像控制信号1111到摄像子***1120。摄像控制信号1111通常用来控制摄像头的设置,包括但不限于视频帧率、视频分辨率、聚焦区、云台控制等。调制解调器子***1110还输出移动控制信号1112到移动子***1140,用以控制移动子***在地面上的移动或摄像子***的垂直移动。在远程视觉链路的上行链路中,调制解调器子***1110接收来自摄像子***1120的状态信息信号1121、来自移动子***1140的状态信息信号1141和其他信号,然后通过无线连接1101,向无线基站1300转发接收的视觉视频和状态信息。The modem subsystem 1110 communicates with other subsystems of the remote vision device via wire or wirelessly and wirelessly with one or more wireless base stations. In the downlink of the remote visual link, the modem subsystem 1110 receives control signals from the wireless base station 1300 generated by the shopper, and outputs an imaging control signal 1111 to the imaging subsystem 1120. The camera control signal 1111 is typically used to control the settings of the camera, including but not limited to video frame rate, video resolution, focus area, pan/tilt control, and the like. Modem subsystem 1110 also outputs a motion control signal 1112 to mobile subsystem 1140 for controlling the movement of the mobile subsystem on the ground or the vertical movement of the camera subsystem. In the uplink of the remote vision link, the modem subsystem 1110 receives the status information signal 1121 from the camera subsystem 1120, the status information signal 1141 from the mobile subsystem 1140, and other signals, and then, via the wireless connection 1101, to the wireless base station. The 1300 forwards the received visual video and status information.
在图1所示的实施例中,调制解调器子***1110还以无线连接1011和1031,分别与远程试衣装置1010、展示基座1030无线通信。在功能上,调制解调器子***1110将一个无线连接的物理层信号转化到另一个,反之亦然,因此双向中继传输远程试衣链接和展示基地链接的上行和下行数据流。在一个实施例中,无线连接1011和1031采用蓝牙连接,无线连接1101采用IEEE802.11连接,调制解调器子***1110将采用蓝牙的无线连接的物 理信号转换到采用IEEE 802.11的无线连接,反之亦然,从而双向中继远程试衣链接和展示基座链接的上下行数据流。In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, modem subsystem 1110 is also in wireless communication with remote fitting device 1010, display dock 1030, respectively, in wireless connections 1011 and 1031. Functionally, the modem subsystem 1110 converts a wirelessly connected physical layer signal to another, and vice versa, so the two-way relay transmits the remote fitting link and displays the base link's upstream and downstream data streams. In one embodiment, wireless connections 1011 and 1031 employ Bluetooth connectivity, wireless connection 1101 employs an IEEE 802.11 connection, and modem subsystem 1110 uses Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The signal is converted to a wireless connection using IEEE 802.11, and vice versa, thereby bidirectionally relaying the remote fitting link and displaying the uplink and downlink data streams of the base link.
本发明的***存在多种多样的实施例。在一个实施例中,远程试衣装置1010和1020和展示基座1030和1040通过有线连接到视觉链接服务器1500,并最终连接到购物者设备,并受控于购物者。因此,远程视觉装置1100和1200与远程试衣装置1010和1020或展示基座1030和1040之间没有任何无线连接。There are a variety of embodiments of the system of the present invention. In one embodiment, remote fitting devices 1010 and 1020 and display docks 1030 and 1040 are wired to visual link server 1500 and ultimately connected to the shopper device and controlled by the shopper. Thus, there is no wireless connection between the remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 and the remote fitting devices 1010 and 1020 or the display pedestals 1030 and 1040.
在另一个实施例中,远程视觉装置1100和1200的移动子***不在地面上移动,而是在轨道上移动。一个轨道***,如单轨***,安装在商店1000内。在本发明的一个实施例中,轨道***是安装在商店1000内的地面上,远程视觉装置在轨道上面移动。在本发明的另一实施例中,轨道***是安装在天花板上,远程视觉装置“倒挂”在轨道下移动。在本发明的另一实施方案,轨道***安装在空中,远程视觉装置或向上立在轨道上、或“倒挂”在轨道下移动。在一个实施例中,远程视觉装置1100到1200不采用无线连接,而是由本地布线连接到视觉链接服务器1500。In another embodiment, the mobile subsystems of remote vision devices 1100 and 1200 do not move on the ground, but move on the track. A rail system, such as a monorail system, is installed in the store 1000.

In one embodiment, the fixed remote vision device does not employ a wireless connection, but is connected to the visual link server 1500 by local wiring.
本发明的***提供多种服务,图2示出了本发明的采用远程机器人的服饰试穿方法的一个实施例,包括以下步骤:The system of the present invention provides a variety of services. FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a garment try-on method using a remote robot of the present invention, including the following steps:
步骤1,标记为210,购物者获取她的目标人体的人体外形测量参数。本发明的方法需要获取目标人体的人体外形测量参数,使远程机器人试衣可提供与真人试衣相似的试穿效果。传统上,目标人体由购物者自己或他人手工测量,称为手工人体测量。手工人体测量获得的数据亦称为手工人体测量。现在,已有多个发明公开了三维扫描人体的装置和方法[3], 称为三维人体扫描。三维人体扫描获得的数据亦称为三维人体扫描。一些发明中三维人体扫描由专业的设备和服务完成,另一些发明中可由她自己或家庭成员使用自己的设备自助完成。三维人体扫描在测量人体的体型和尺码上提供了更高的精度,是本发明的优选方法。然而,手工人体测量、三维人体扫描以及其他三维人体建模方法都是本发明可接受的方法。在本发明的一个实施例中,当接收到三维人体扫描时,远程试衣装置调整自身的体型和尺码,匹配三维人体扫描。当接收到手工人体测量时,根据一定的规则,将其插值,转换为三维人体扫描,然后远程试衣装置调整自身的体型和尺码,匹配插值得到的三维人体扫描。Step 1, labeled 210, the shopper obtains the body shape measurement parameters of her target body. The method of the invention needs to obtain the human body shape measurement parameters of the target human body, so that the remote robot fitting can provide a try-through effect similar to that of the real human fitting. Traditionally, the target human body has been manually measured by the shopper himself or by others, called manual anthropometry. The data obtained by manual anthropometry is also known as manual anthropometry. Now, a number of inventions have disclosed devices and methods for three-dimensional scanning of the human body [3], Called a three-dimensional body scan. The data obtained by three-dimensional human body scanning is also called three-dimensional human body scanning. In some inventions, three-dimensional human body scanning is performed by professional equipment and services, while others can be self-contained by herself or family members using their own equipment. Three-dimensional body scanning provides greater precision in measuring the size and size of a human body and is a preferred method of the present invention. However, manual anthropometry, three-dimensional body scanning, and other three-dimensional human modeling methods are all acceptable methods of the present invention. In one embodiment of the invention, when a three-dimensional human body scan is received, the remote fitting device adjusts its body size and size to match the three-dimensional human body scan.
